Abstract

The concept of Smart City represents a resonating theme in the world, which is based on the efforts of the creators of this concept to increase the quality of life in cities. In recent years, it has gradually become a phenomenon that cities around the world are trying to apply. The reason for its introduction is the added value in the form of more efficient functioning of human society, as according to the data available so far, it increases safety in the city, enables more efficient transport of goods, services, human capital, reduces the negative impact on the environment, speeds up administrative processes, increases economic development and brings financial savings. All this is happening against the background of the increased interest of city dwellers in public administration. With these facts in mind, our ambition is to identify the degree of application of the implementation of the Smart City concept in Slovakia and, based on relevant data, create a realistic picture of the possibilities and limits of the concept in our domestic environment. In order to achieve the research objective, we rely on a set of quantitative (questionnaire survey) and qualitative methods (critical analysis) that are also used in social sciences. Based on our research intention, we must draw attention to the obviously negative state of development of this strategic concept at the level of Slovak cities. Because the Smart City concept represents a challenge for the future development of self-government in our environment, it is necessary to reflect on the current starting point and proceed with the implementation of steps aimed at correctly grasping and understanding the importance of the issue by the professional public, municipal politicians and residents of self-governing units. Due to the fact that it is a relatively new topic, there are only a few works dealing with the issue of the Smart City concept or its application in our domestic conditions. Nevertheless, our research intention is open to new knowledge and interpretations by current and future authors who find strength and interest in this issue.
斯洛伐克城市的智慧城市战略
智慧城市 "的概念代表了一个在世界上引起共鸣的主题,它基于这一概念的创造者为提高城市生活质量所做的努力。近年来,它已逐渐成为世界各地城市正在尝试应用的一种现象。引入这一概念的原因在于它能为人类社会的高效运转带来附加值,因为根据目前掌握的数据,它能提高城市的安全性,使货物、服务、人力资本的运输更加高效,减少对环境的负面影响,加快行政程序,促进经济发展并节省资金。所有这些都是在城市居民对公共行政越来越感兴趣的背景下发生的。考虑到这些事实,我们的目标是确定智能城市概念在斯洛伐克的应用程度,并在相关数据的基础上,对这一概念在我们国内环境中的可能性和局限性进行现实描述。为了实现研究目标,我们采用了一套社会科学中常用的定量(问卷调查)和定性(批判性分析)方法。根据我们的研究意图,我们必须提请注意这一战略概念在斯洛伐克城市层面上的明显负面发展状况。由于 "智慧城市 "概念对我们环境中自治政府的未来发展提出了挑战,因此有必要对当前的起点进行反思,并着手实施旨在使专业公众、市政政治家和自治单位居民正确把握和理解该问题重要性的措施。由于这是一个相对较新的课题,目前只有少数著作涉及智慧城市概念或其在国内的应用。不过,我们的研究意向是开放的,欢迎当前和未来对这一问题感兴趣的作者提供新的知识和解释。
